 School’s out for high school and college kids and things have slowed a bit with the hot summer weather. Now is a good time to think about having your wisdom teeth extracted while you can relax at home and not worry about possible swelling or missing important classes.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, normally make their appearance somewhere between the age of 17 and 21. If you or your son or daughter are seeing your dentist regularly, your dentist will likely be monitoring the appearance of the wisdom teeth and at some point may recommend they be extracted. Wisdom teeth may have been helpful to our ancestors who ate roots, nuts, and uncooked meat; but in today’s diet we do just fine without them. For some people the wisdom teeth come in without any problem. For others they can create issues. Brushing and flossing the wisdom teeth is a challenge due to the tight fit and placement of the teeth. This makes wisdom teeth prone to decay. Depending on how they make their appearance, they can cause crowding and possibly make other teeth move or overlap. And sometimes they don’t make an appearance but get lodged against another tooth under the surface. In this case, the wisdom tooth can become impacted causing pain and possible infection. Periodontal Therapy Center offers complete Wisdom Tooth extraction services. In many cases, the wisdom teeth can be extracted non-surgically with a local anesthetic. Occasionally the extraction can be more complex and require IV Sedation and some oral surgery. Whatever your situation, we can examine and make recommendations for the best course of action. And during the summer months, we are offering special pricing for Wisdom Tooth extractions. Please call our office to discuss treatment options, pricing, and ask any questions you might have.

This article really helped me understand why summer is a great time to get wisdom teeth removed. I didn’t realize how much trouble these teeth can cause, like pain, infections, or crowding other teeth. The way the article explained how some wisdom teeth come in easily but others don’t was really clear and easy to follow. I also liked that it talked about different ways the teeth can be taken out, whether it’s simple or needs surgery, which made me feel less nervous about the process. Overall, the article did a great job giving useful information and making me feel more comfortable about getting wisdom teeth checked and possibly removed. Leave a Reply. |
